Definitions

  • This invention relates to intrusion detection systems and more particularly to a passive infrared system for detection of an intruder within a protected space.
  • infrared radiation in a space to be protected is sensed to produce an electrical signal which represents the level of received radiation in the protected area.
  • the presence of an intruder in the protected area gives rise to an increase in the radiation level which is sensed to provide an output indication of intruder presence when the level of received radiation exceeds a predetermined threshold level.
  • Examples of passive infrared intrusion detection systems are shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,036,219; 3,524,180; 3,631,434; 3,703,718 and 3,886,360.

  • the mirror assembly comprises an array of plane mirrors disposed at respective angular positions to provide a wide receiving field of view.
  • a parabolic mirror confronts the plane mirror array and is disposed with a detector element at the focal point.
  • the angular orientation of the plane mirrors in relation to the parabolic mirror is such that radiation in the field of view is received by one or more of the plane mirrors and directed, along an axis parallel to the parabolic mirror axis, to the parabolic mirror which focuses the radiation onto the detector element.

  • the housing 10 is affixed to a base 70.
  • a printed circuit card 72 containing the electronic signal processing circuitry is supported within housing portion 13.
  • a further printed circuit card 74 can be supported with base 70, this card containing desired additional circuitry such as particular alarm circuits or circuits to provide an interface with associated equipment.
  • a connector strip 76 can also be provided within the base for electrical interconnection of the system.
  • the printed circuit card 72 is retained at one end by means of notches provided in locator plates 78 inwardly disposed at the outer end of housing portion 13.
  • a light emitting diode 82 or other suitable indicator is disposed within an opening provided in the housing to provide a visual walk test indication.
  • a metallized paper, plastic or other sheet 84 is provided on the inner surfaces of housing portion 13 and joins the retaining member 80 which is preferably formed of a metallized plastic, thereby to provide a shielded enclosure for the electronic circuitry.
  • Locator pins 86 are provided in the base 70 for ease of positioning of the housing 10.
  • the base also includes standoff pedastals 88 for mounting of the card 74 therein, and locator pins 90 for positioning of this card and its associated connector.
  • An outer shell or cover 92 is affixed to the housing to enclose the mirror assembly.
  • the cover is transmissive to infrared radiation in the spectrum of interest, and may be visually opaque to provide an unobtrusive and decorative appearance.
  • the housing 10 is mounted on a wall at a position to have an overall field of view which encompasses the volumetric space within which intruder presence is intended to be detected.
  • Infrared radiation from the protected space is received by one or more of the plane mirrors of the array 14, the received radiation being reflected to the parabolic mirror 16 which is operative to focus the received radiation onto the detecting element 44 to provide an electrical output signal representative of the magnitude of received radiation.
  • the angular orientation of the mirror surfaces of the array 14 in relation to the parabolic mirror 16 are such that radiation received by one or more of the plane mirror surfaces is reflected along an axis which is parallel to the parabolic mirror axis such that radiation will be focused onto the detecting element by the parabolic mirror.
  • the mirror array 14 can be angularly adjusted as a unit by rotation of fastener 26 to permit alteration of the field of view.
  • the flange portions 24 of the housing are sufficiently resilient to permit the requisite angular movement.
  • the spring 30 biases the array unit inward of the housing 10.
  • the array unit is initially adjusted at a reference position which is intermediate of the upper and lower angular extremes of adjustment. Typically, the array can be altered about 4-5 degrees outward and inward to provide an angular adjustment range of about 8-10 degrees, and corresponding adjustment of the range of the field of view.
  • the range is defined as the distance between the mirror surfaces and the floor of a facility in which the detection system is installed.
  • the system provides a substantially 180 degree field of horizontal coverage, with seventeen fields of view provided by the respective mirrors of the array unit.
  • a shield 62 which includes a clip portion 64 which can be clipped onto a side flange of array 14 to retain the shield between one half of the array unit and the parabolic reflector to effectively occlude the light path for half of the optical assembly.
  • the shield can be disposed on either side of the array to occlude respective sides.
  • the signal processing circuitry is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the detecting element 48 is a dual thermopile having thermopiles 48a and 48b connected in electrical phase opposition between an AC ground and an input to a high gain bandpass amplifier 100.
  • the amplifier includes a passband of about 0.1 to 6.0 Hz to minimize noise and spurious signals which are outside of the signal band of interest.
  • the high frequency cut-off of the passband provides immunity from spurious signal sources to provide low noise performance.
  • the low frequency cut-off of the passband minimizes noise due to slow background radiation changes.
  • the output from amplifier 100 is coupled to the negative input of a comparator 102 and the positive input of a comparator 104.
  • a positive reference source 106 provides a positive reference signal to comparator 102, while a negative reference signal is provided to comparator 104 by a negative reference source 108.
  • the outputs from comparators 102 and 104 are applied to alarm detector logic 110 which provides a predetermined detection criteria, the satisfaction of which will produce an output signal for actuation of an alarm 112 or for application to other utilization means.
  • the alarm detection logic 110 can be, as an example, two event logic wherein a first signal from one of the comparators causes the commencement of a time interval within which a second signal from one of the comparators must be received to trigger the alarm.
  • An inhibit time can be provided after receipt by the alarm logic of a first signal from one of the comparators to minimize commencement of a timing cycle until after transient conditions have passed.
  • a timing interval of about thirty seconds is provided by the two event logic, and with a two second inhibit interval after receipt of the first signal from one of the comparators.
  • thermopile of the detecting element is responsive to a respective portion of the viewing field.
  • An intruder detected by the thermopile 48a causes a positive transition in signal level which will provide an output from comparator 102 if the amplified signal level exceeds the positive reference threshold.
  • Presence of an intruder detected by the thermopile 48b causes a negative transition in signal level which upon exceedance of the negative reference threshold causes comparator 104 to provide an output signal.
  • the field pattern of the seventeen fields of view provided by the mirror system as seen in the azimuth plane, is depicted in FIG. 6.
  • Each field of view includes two field patterns for the respective thermopiles of the dual detecting element.
  • the relative length of the respective field patterns illustrates the relative ranges of the different fields of view depending upon the angular orientation of the particular mirror of the array 14.
  • the periphery of the FIG. 6 illustration represents the walls of a protected room and it is seen that those fields of view which extend to the periphery intersect the surrounding walls, while the shorter fields of view intersect the floor of the protected room.
  • the illustrated field patterns are referred to as beams, it being understood that the term refers to a sensitivity pattern or zone of sensitivity.
  • the entry of the intruder into the beam will cause a first event signal, while the withdrawal of the intruder from that beam will cause a second event signal to thus case an alarm.
  • the system is operative in response to changes or transitions in the level of received infrared radiation, and an alarm indication will be provided if the signal provided in response to detected radiation exceeds one of the bipolar reference threshold levels and meets the two event logic criteria or other detection criteria as predetermined by logic 110.
